D-2 Netopia ISDN Modem User’s Guide
Installation
The Microkey Switchboard7 installation process is initiated by the
Netopia ISDN Modem installation process. Switchboard7
determines the operating system running on your computer. If it
determines that you are running Windows 3.1 or Windows 3.11, the
Switchboard7 installation process continues and the installation
program displays the appropriate dialog box. If you are running
Windows 95 or NT, the Switchboard7 installation process is
bypassed because these operating systems are shipped with
high-speed COM port drivers from Microsoft.
To ensure that your system is properly optimized, you should
remove any existing serial port device drivers before you install your
Switchboard7 Comm Port Accelerator. The installation program will
search for and remove some of the most common third-party COM
port drivers configured in your SYSTEM.INI file. If any of these
drivers are discovered, the following message will be displayed on
screen, “A version of “Driver Name” was found. This installation will
replace it. Do you wish to replace it? YES/NO.””
If you respond with “YES,” the old drivers will be removed from the
SYSTEM.INI file. The installation program will automatically create a
backup of your old SYSTEM.INI file.
Enter YES to continue the installation. If you enter NO, the
installation will be aborted and the following message will be
displayed on screen, “User has cancelled Installation.”
When the installation is finished, the follow message will be
displayed, “High speed Drivers Installed. “SYSTEM,INI” Modified.
Current “SYSTEM.INI” BACKED UP TO “SYSTEM.XXX”
Click OK. The following message will be displayed. “INSTALLATION
COMPLETE. RESTART WINDOWS TO ACTIVATE INSTALLED DRIVERS.
Restart Windows to complete the installation.
If there is a problem during the installation, you will receive the
following error message, “ERROR DURING INSTALLATION, ERROR
CODE XX.” If you see this message, record the error code listed in
the message, locate the corresponding error code in the error
codes table below, and take the corrective action associated with
the error code.
